An air-standard Brayton cycle includes a regenerator which is shown in the below figure. The air enters the compressor at 100 kPa, 20℃. The pressure ratio across the compressor is 9:1. The highest temperature in the cycle is 1100℃, and the flow rate of the air is 10 kg/s. The regenerator operates at effectiveness 80 percent. Both the efficiencies of the turbine and the compressor are 85%. Do not use Table A-22. Assuming constant specific heat ( cp = 1.004 kJ/kg/K; cv = 0.717 kJ/kg/K; k = 1.40), calculate:
1) the compressor power,
2) the turbine power,
3) the rate of heat added to the cycle,
4) the thermal efficiency of the cycle,
5) now find the thermal efficiency of cycle without the regenerator and find the percent change in thermal efficiency when the regenerator is added.
